This candle came out recently. Every year Bath & Body Works discontinues it at the end of fall and then re-introduces it in their new branding at the end of summer – for fall. I would have never known about this candle had I not gone over to my Aunt Susi’s house one day and… Read More It’s Going to Take a While
People can be really nice. I’ve received many nice compliments over my life but there are a couple of them that stand out. I’m sure some people might find these offensive if they were to receive them but all I recall is feeling really proud. You’re smart, you understand. That was it. That’s all I… Read More Compliments
I’ve tried to start running on and off for the past couple of years. I’m really working on improving my cardio and I feel like that’s a no-brainer way to get your cardio in better shape. I always make excuses – 1) I’m going to wait until I lose some weight so it’s easier on… Read More Running
Here lately I have found myself worried for no reason. The things I’m worried about are 2 completely different things. First of all, my Aunt passed away recently and admittedly I’m still coping with that. With the sheer idea that she just isn’t here any more. With the fact I’ll never see her again.

We had the Memorial for my Aunt Susi today. Everyone kept asking me if I was alright when honestly, I’m not going to be alright for quite a while. I stammered through the question. Teared up the first couple of times. Then I started just answering “ok” and then explaining that I’m not ok but… Read More Aunt Susi – My Favorite Memory
A very important person in my life passed away this weekend. I can’t even fathom having a holiday and her not being there and to be honest, I don’t even want to think about it. The evening I found out (Sunday) I was actually having a very good day. I did laundry all day and… Read More Aunt Susi

You would think by now my weight would have gone down! Ahh! So frustrated. I realized I needed to go on this journey back in 2017 and started working out with a trainer twice a week. She was awesome and she was also a nutritionist so she steered my diet in a way that would… Read More Weight-Loss Diary – 4/11/2019
It was a bad weekend. Oh, not really, in all honesty it was a phenomenal weekend. Was my eating on point? Nah. Were my activities on point? YES. Saturday I did something I’ve been waiting a while for, I gave blood. Ever since 9/11 I have tried to give blood regularly with my mom. There… Read More Weight-Loss Diary – 4/8/2019
